From daring escapes and naval skirmishes to the resilience of everyday people, The Revolution on Raritan Bay reveals how this region's sacrifices and conflicts influenced the outcome of America's independence. Raritan Bay was more than a body of water during the American Revolution--it was a frontline. Its villages, farms, and ports became places where Patriots, Loyalists, and those in between clashed in a struggle that reshaped the colonies. Smugglers, privateers, and spies used its waters and inlets to move men, messages, and supplies. Families were torn apart, neighbors eyed one another with suspicion, and violent raids brought the war directly to the doorsteps of New Jersey residents. Historian and television host John R. Schneider uncovers these overlooked stories, weaving together local accounts with the broader fight for liberty.
